Gamers can get their hands on the preview of the new game as the Federation Internationale de Football Association 19 demo is out on Thursday 13th September with a download available in the United Kingdom from midnight.

He finds himself ranked as the game's 18th best player with a rating of 89, while fellow World Cup victor N'Golo Kante also has a score of 89.

Over the last decade or so, we have been watching the duopoly between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Let's have a look. The player is often not in the starting line up and this has raised concerns among his fans that he would be leaving Juventus in January in order to be able to utilize his full potential somewhere else.

The 91 player rating list has several other stars as well which are Hazard, De Gea, Ramos, and Suarez.

Nothing to see here really.

"I'm lucky to play with LionelMessi for Argentina and for some time, I've been playing with CR7 for Juventus too".

The Brazilian has been given a slightly higher rating of 93 on PES, but third is where he belongs regardless.

Following close-by in the third spot is Neymar with an overall rating of 92, an apt indication of the three-way race that the trio shares for the title of the world's best player.

What's interesting, though, is the order they've come in.

Given that the duo have dominated world football for over a decade, it is little surprise to see them at the head of the list, and like a year ago, they find Neymar completing the podium of the game's elite three stars.

"Messi plays another sport, he does what he wants and when he wants to".

Messi and Ronaldo are rated the same on both games but separated by their individual statistics like pace, shooting and passing, which make up their overall rating.
